But a few hours before the relapse which brought his life to a close just this side of the mile post marking three quarters of a century, the physicians attending him had issued a bulletin with a note of optimism, hoping that he might spend a comfortable night, altho his condition then was regarded as grave. The first intimation that death was imminent came at 2 a.m. when members of the Gompers party were awakened and the physicians were called in hurried consultation. His breathing then was labored and painful and his vitality low from the struggle against the bronchial and pneumonia condition which had necessitated the emergency trip from Mexico City.

The postmaster general recommended sharp increases in the postal rates on second class matter featured by a 100 per cent increase on the charges for the first and second zones. This increase will directly affect every newspaper and magazine in the country. The schedule also called for heavy advances in the postal rates on parcel post and third class mail. The proposed rates and a covering letter were directed to Sen. Sterling, Rep. of S. D., chairman of the senate postoffice committee, who announced he would call for public hearing on the schedule at "the earliest possible moment." The greatest part of the $69,000,000 however, would be raised under News recommendations by levying increases on second class mail matter which is chiefly the transportation of newspapers, magazines and other periodicals. For the first and second zones, where the present rate is two cents an ounce, the postmaster general recommended an increase of two cents an ounce to a total of four cents. In the third zone, he recommended another two cent increase an ounce which would raise the present rate of three cents to five cents an ounce. In the fourth, fifth and sixth zones he urged an increase of one cent per ounce. This would raise the fourth zone rate from five to six cents an ounce with similar proportional increases for the two other zones. Existing rates would be continued in the seventh and eighth zones, second class. About $12,000,000 of the pay fund, however, would be obtained from the parcel post under New's proposed rates. This would come from an increase which would average about two cents a package. On third class mail matter, the postmaster general recommended that the 50 per cent raise which would increase the postage on a postcard from one to one and one half cents. He also urged congress to transfer certain matters from one class to another, thus increasing the postage. During the debate, Sen. Sterling, Rep. of S. D., declared it was the administration's purpose to sponsor a bill increasing second class postage rates while LINES MAY MAKE ANOTHER RECORD Total fines of Judge Charley Chellet are likely to reach in December a mark never touched before.
